Wavey Godshawk was a female Scriven who was introduced in Fever Crumb. She lived in the early half of the Traction Era, and was the only known Scriven to fall in love with a human, an engineer called Gideon Crumb. After this, he was banished by her father and didn't see her again for years.

She was killed by Shrike while trying to escape Rufus Raven's Traction Fortress.[1]

Description[]

Unlike most Scriven, Wavey does not have a pattern of blue markings on her body. Odo Bolventor described her lack of markings "as ugly as boiled fish".[2]

History[]

Pre-Series[]

Wavey lived as a Scriven elite, daughter of the ruler of London at the time. She eventually fell in love with Gideon Crumb, becoming pregnant after he was banished from the Scriven parts of town by Auric Godshawk, ruler of London.

After giving birth to Fever Crumb, she was weak and almost died. Auric Godshawk saved her, but also implanted his memories via some sort of stalker technology.

When Fever was a few months old, the Skinner Riots started up, and Wavey fled to her father's mansion out in the Brick Marsh. Eventually the Skinners found her and the last of the Scriven living there, and all her fellow Scriven were killed. But because she had a baby with her, Bagman Creech (leader of the party sent to clear out the house) spared her.

She dropped Fever off with a friend, telling him to lure Gideon Crumb to take her away to Godshawk's Head. She fled London, somehow escaping the Skinner patrols that lurked around the Orbital Moatway. Malnourished and tired, Wavey was found by Borglum's Carnival of Knives and became part of his act. After leaving, Wavey found work aboard the Nomad Empires as a Technomancer.


Fever Crumb trilogy[]

Fever Crumb[]

Eventually, she started working for The Movement, and convinced its leader to take over London.

She reunited with Fever on board their capitol traction fortress, and was pleased to hear that Gideon was still alive. However, she was injured by Shrike.

Scrivener's Moon[]

After 2 years, Wavey was reunited with Fever. While London was mobilising into a Traction City, she and Fever decided to journey to the Skrevenstuut, birthplace of the Scrivener, in the North, where she sadly was killed by the same Stalker who hurt her 2 years ago.
